All you sailors old or young come light the guns on everyone
We'll take the ship and go to sea
Crush the north in '53
Fought upon a broken shore
With 20 thousand men or more
We're the riflemen of war
All you sailors old or young come light the guns on everyone
Make that shot against their bow, we watched their maiden sinking down
Fired aloud and the cannons roar
With 20 thousand rounds or more
We're the riflemen of war
All you injured old or young, come let's steal the gold for everyone
Take the ship, to England sail
Good heroes welcome, we'll prevail
Pull the mast to better shores
A hundred men were back on board
We're the riflemen of war
